You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Happy belated New Year. Well, OK, it's still Jan 1st, so not that late. Hope you all had good ones. There was fizzy wine and pizza here. Was nice.

Ryan is adorable, but I think BT probably already knew that.

We went to the grave today (it's been seven days) and now we are all very tired. We fly to Geneva (long story, but The Girl's family has a home there) tomorrow or the next day, and then I'm going home. Had to cancel a poster presentation I was meant to give at a postgrad conference at the end of the week, but it will be the day after I get home, and flying takes it out of me. Unprofessional, but there's not much to be done about it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Either that or a sippy cup. Unless they now have sippy cup attachments to beer cans in Australia. But, you know, stuff could happen.

Aaand the echidnas start here: [link] (Ryan loved them.)

Well, of course he did. This was never in question.

Happy New Year, Bitches!

FTR, I don't think there's anything unprofessional about having to cancel something due to a family emergency. I hope nobody's making you feel bad about it.

Nah, not yet. I am just Guilt Girl. I'm sure people will be lovely. I know the person running the conference, so it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My parents just called. My grandmother passed away this morning.

I think the good things are that she didn't have to go into a nursing home, which she would have hated, and she didn't have to know about her rings disappearing.

{{{Dana}}} I'm so sorry for your loss.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, Dana.

Dana,

I'm sorry to hear it. I know this was not unexpected though still hard to take.

My best to you and your family.
